7 Walsh Refutes Rumors About Youth Congress

By JAMES WALSH '41 "Communistic front''—"Kids not

dry behind the ears"—"Impractical idealists"—such were the editorial phrases that accompanied much adult htad-shaking as the National Youth Congress met last week in Washing- ton, D. C, to carry out its policy as a citizenship institute and to object to some flagrant cases of withheld civil liberties.

The know-it-alls with their news- papers to sell and their big salaries to justify spent a good deal of time and ink in mercilessly condemning the movement in toto because of the "Un- American" ideas of a small minority of its members. <

Obviously these sources of public information were either predetermined about their stand on the Congress or grossly negligent about observing the vast majority of the delegates repre- senting all races, creeds, and political beliefs which this country contains. They didn't see and hear there the negro boy from Alabama who like seventy-five per cent of the Southern population cannot vote because he doesn't know the meaning of "non corpus mentis", "writ of mandamus", or "habeas corpus" or another negro boy who having passed his examina- tion doesn't dare to vote from fear of the Ku Klux Klan whose Un-Ameri- can activities the great American Dies committee has failed to investigate.

The reporters were probably elsewhere when the sixteen year old girl, whose name might have been Joad. told of being thrown out of her home in Oklahoma when her family were tenant farmers, and left to starve by the side of the road until

some Tcind wealthy woman allowed them and scores of others like them to use her extensive estate to live on until they could make plans to get some form of work. And, where were the intrepid press men when labor union representatives told of brutal strike-breakers killing and injuring men lawfully attempting to get a more liveable wage for their labors? Two Sides To the Story

That there is more than one side to all these stories is very true but it seems that this is the side which was worthy of a greater proportion of the publicity than it received.

In review I think it might justly be said that the Congress was repre sentative of American young people who saw little for themselves In the future. Many of them saw no chance of getting jobs, because of racial dis- crimination or because they were not fitted for any job and had no money to so fit themselves. To some of these

the money spent to get to Washing- ton represented a gamble of double or nothing. Many saw their constitu- tional rights daily being usurped and took advantage of an opportunity to try to right these wrongs. A few felt that within a new order of things lay the solution to all our troubles.

All feared the event of a new and more terrible war than that which killed their fathers and came to ex- press opposition to any policy which might force their entrance into the folly.

And so they assembled in Wash- ington where a father chastized them, a politician sympathized with them, and only a mother understood them.

Novel Rendering Of Favorites Marks Wolffs Lieder Concert

By RICHARD DEARBORN '41 When Ernest Wolff gave a short

preview of his Lieder singing in Cha- pel Monday morning, students and faculty alike realized the treat in store for them that evening and a ca- pacity audience turned out to hear the well-known interpreter of German folk songs in the fifth installment of the lecture and concert series.

Mr. Wolff, a man who has been ac- claimed in music circles not only as a singer but also as a pianist and musi- cal director, is one of those rare per- sons who combine a genuine artistic temperament with a friendly and ex- uberant personality. During his two- day stay here, he was kept busy giv- ing talks and concerts to groups of students and faculty members. Speak- ing in the music class, Mr. Wolff de- scribed the art of L.eder singing as moat difficult due to the emphasis on the voice alone as a conveyor of at- mosphere, tone, and expression. Captures Favor Of Audience

Combining with his well-controlled baritone voice a very creditable piano accompaniment and excellent dra- matic expression, Mr. Wolff proved an instant favorite with the audience. A novel feature of his program was the refreshing and original interpre- tations which he save of well-known and even slightly hackneyed folk songs. So clear was his enunciation that students with only an elementary smattering of German could follow quite easily the words of the most of his songs. Throughout the entire pro- gram, Mr. Wolff performed the diffi- cult feat of singing and playing all his songs entirely from memory.

Beginning with two Italian songs, "Occhi Belli" and "Invocation of Orpheus", he proceeded to give selec- tions in the first half from Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schu- bert. Among the outstanding selec- tions in this group was Mozart's "Man-

, Maggs Meet Bowdoin Debaters

Two undefeated colleges, lied for» the leadership of the Eastern Inter- collegiate Debating League, meet Fri- day night in the Little Theatre when Donald Maggs '40 and Frank Coffin '40 engage the ancient rivals of Bowdoin in an Oregon-Style debate on the pro- position "Resolved: That Franklin D. Roosevelt should be reelected for a third term." This is the first home league contest and the first decision debate of campus this season.

Two Bowdoin seniors, are upholding the Affirmative, Arthur W. Wang as the witness, and Ernest F. Andrews as the cross examiner; Maggs is the Neg- ative witness and Coffin the cross-ex- aminer. Prof. Paul B. Bartlett is pre- siding over the debate, scheduled for 8:00 p. m., and the Judges are Dr. George Sneath of Boston University. Prof. Xewall Maynard of Tufts College and Judge Alton Lessard of Lewiston. Since Maggs and Coffin last year won the decision at Bowdoin after tha Brunswick collegians had won in the two previous years, this debate is to be contested with more than the usual enthusiasm: Bowdoin has a new coach this year. Paul R. Thayer.

Before the debate the contestants, coaches and judges are to be enter- tained at a dinner party at the DeWitt Hotel. Eric Lindell '40, manager of men's debating, is in charge of ar- rangements for this debate.

ner Suchen Stets zu Naschen". Mr. Wolff's clear barTtone tripped in a lightening manner from syllable to syllable on this piece with a refiesh- ing ease and a liltinb rhythm. "Ich Liebe Dich" by Beethoven was per- haps his best serious interpretation with Ills well-modujattd lvoice ex-

pressing the passionate nature of the song in a sympathetic manner. For encores, Mr. Wolff sang "Ungeduld" by Schubert, a semi-serious love bal- lad, and "Die Rechte Stimn.ung" by Telemann.

Lyric Beauty, Dramatic Presentation

The second half of the program in- cluded several songs by Mendelssohn Schumann, Brahms and_one by Wolf and one by Richard Strauss. The "Heimliche Aufforderung" by Strauss was very well done. Mr. Wolff cap tured the lyric beauty of this song and rendered it in a dramatic manm with well-modulated expression. "Heimweh" by Hugo Wolf, noted col- lector of German Lieder, is a nostalgic and melancholy song about a home- sick traveller in distant lands. One almost wishes that" Mr. Wolff had seen lit to include more songs by this outstanding Lieder authority on his program. "Du Bist'Wie ESne Blume" by Heine and set to music by Schu- mann proved to be somewhat disap- pointing, due perhaps to the heavily dramatic manner of the interpreta- tion. The favorite of the audience in this group was the folk song, "Be- tween Mountain an Deep Valley". A lively, capricious piece in mood, its startling conclusion and comic mood as well as its sparkling rhythm com- pletely captivated the audience-

Mr. Wolff gave five encores con- cluding with "Wer Hat's Lledlein Er- dacht" by Erich Wolff and then kind- ly obliged a group of the audience who stayed after the program with several piano solos.

Skimen Compete In L S. U. Championships

Because of their excellent showing in the State championships at Bridg- ton last week, Coach Win Durgin is taking four members of the ski team to the I.S.U. championships at Col- pate University, Hamilton. N.Y. Those members of the team who are making the trip are Bob Ireland, Bill Lever, Julie and Dick Thompson.

The Bobcats started out strongly in the first day's events in the State -liampionships at Bridgton last Krl-

■•nd Saturday. Bob Ireland and Julie Thompson won the first day's events and Bates took the lead for the first day. The next day Maine Jumped into the lead when the Pale Blue scored heavily in the cross-country and the jumning, although Julie Thompson won the latter event. Wally Flint, a freshman, placed well in the second day's events as did Bill Lever.

Authority On Far East Speaks In Chapel Non.

Harry N. Holmes, well-known au- thority on Far Eastern affairs, has been added to the original lecture series program it was announced re- cently by President Clifton D. Gray. He will speak in Chapel on Monday evening, February 26 on "Shrinking Maps In A Changing World."

Mr. Holmes, a native of Australia, is associate secretary of the World Alli- ance for International Friendship Through The Churches. He has lived in South Africa and has been in the Unit- ed States for twenty years. Last year, with Dr. Stanley Jones and Dr. Daniel Poling, he toured Australia for a se- ries of meetings, stopping off at Hawaii, Samoa, Fiji, and New Zealand.

The Bates community will remem- ber Mr. Holmes as a guest speaker in the grand send-off given the team of debaters for their world-wide tour in the spring of 192S. Mr. Holmes also spoke in Chapel three years ago.

The departments of economics and sociology cooperate in many ways. Interrelations in the studies of the problems of relief, health, education, and the local industrial development bringing out the growth of the com- munity will be emphasized.

The ten remaining liberal arts de- partments will also be featured in the exhibit. The speech group is in re- hearsal of a play "Seven Chances'* by Roi Cooper Magrue; and a demon- stration of the proper methods of speech in broadcasting, recording and amplification is being planned also.

Mrs. Woodhouse Explains Coed Job Opportunities

Mrs. Chase Goding Woodhouse, a teacher of Economics at Connecticut College for Women and Director of the Institute of Women's Professional Re- lations was the guest speaker at the Women's Assembly Friday morning. Mrs. Woodhouse, introduced by Kath- erine Gould "40, President of the Stu- dent Government, spoke on the oppor- tunities for college women in the bus- iness world. This was also the theme of the more informal meetings which were held at 11 o'clock in the Little Theatre and at 3 in the Women's Un- ion at which time more specific pro- fessions were discussed.

In her Assembly talk Mrs. Wood- house mentioned several trends of in- terest to women in business; that the position of women iu business has ris- en with democracy and opportunities for women are increasing rapidly and particularly for college women for pre- sent day employers are looking for well educated women with a broad cultural background and a proper atti- tude. Business, under the influence of women, has become much more coop- erative than formerly.

In the course of her discussions Mrs. Woodhouse stated that one factor which is helping women tremendously in business is that business is "dis- covering the consumer"—that is,

Campus Delegates Attend Youth Congress

Four Bates men, representing the Christian Association, left the cam- pus last Thursday, Feb. S, to attend the National Youth Congress at Wash- ington, D. C. They were William Sutherland '40, Hasty Thompson '40, James Walsh '41. and Avron Persky '43. While there, besides attending the regular meetings of the Congress, the men saw the Senate and House of Representatives in action, inspected the laboratories of the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation and visited oth- er points of historic and scenic in- terest in the nation's capital.

The men returnee', las.'. Tuesday af ter two twenty-roar Hour bus rides. They told the local press that the Congress, which lasted four days, end. ing on Lincoln's birthday, was great- ly misrepresented in the newspapers and by radio commentators as being communistic.

The 6000 delegates to the National Youth Congress, which has almost 5,000,000 members, met in Washington to lobby for the National Youth Act, a bill now before the U. S. Congress and to express their disapproval of war, the Dies investigation, and the Loan to Finland, as well as the dis- criminatory applications of civil lib- erties .

'42 Prize Debaters Argue Comprehensives

Comprehensive examinations, slated for early adoption by Bates, are the subject of the annual Sophomore Prize Debate Tuesday night at 7:30 in the Chase Hall Music Room.

On the Affirmacive team K.i., Wood, Richard Hitchcock and Thomas How- arth are supporting the proposals made to the faculty by their Special Committee on Educational Policy, while upholding the Negative are Pris- cilla Bowles, Paul Quimby and David Nichols. John James, President of the Sophomore Class, is presiding at the debate which will be judged by three faculty members. Prizes of five dol- lars each go to the members of the winning team with a ten dollar award for the debater who is considered the best individual speaker.

The tentative plans for comprehens- ives at Bates, upon which this discus- sion is based, are the results of a stu- dy of the curricula of hundreds of America's leading liberal arts colleges by a faculty committee, of which Dr. Clifton D. Gray was chairman and which included A. P. Bertocci, J. Mur- ray Carroll, Lloyd W. Fisher, R. R. N. Gould, Walter A. Lawrance, R. A. F. McDonald, and Edwin M. Wright.

Clippings of publicity given the Carnival by newspapers throughout New England, New York, and the Middle West have been received. The department would appreciate any clippings sent from home to students that would make the Ale complete, Mr. Powell said.

Thespians Offer 'Dulcy' As Third Play

The next play, which is to be pre- sented by the Robinson Players, March 14 and 15 is a three-act comedy by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connel- ly entitled "Dulcy". The cast of char- acters is as follows: Dulcy, Dorothy Pampel '40; <5ordon Smith. Robert Ire- land '40; William Parker, William Lever '41: C. Roger Forbes, George Antunes '43; Mrs. Forbes. Dorothy Matthews "42; Angela Forbes. Anabel Cofran '43; Vincent Leach, Thomas Hetherman '43; Thomas Sterrett, Er- nest Oberst '41; Schuyler Van Dyck, Richard Horton '42. The play, which will be in the Little Theatre is under the supervision of Miss Lavina Schae*. fer. Miss Barbara Kendall, and Mar- guerite Shaw '40. student coach.

The plot is concerned with the es- capades of Dulcy, garrulous wife of Gordon Smith, a manufacturer of arti- ficial pearls. Countless humorous inci- dents result from Dulcy's attempts to aid her husband's business dealings with C. Roger Forbes, who, with his family, is a week-end guest of the Smiths. Matters are only made worse when Dulcy meddles into the love af- fairs of Forbes' attractive daughter, Angela. Thus the three acts move along at a rapid pace filled with inter- esting and intriguing events that will probably make "Dulcy" one of the Robinson Players' biggest successes.

Vesper Service Hears Dr. Zerby Discussion

The third Vesper Service sponsored by the Bates' Christian Association was held this past Sunday, February 18, at 4:30, in the college chapel. The object of this service was to observe the Student International Day of Prayer, which was held all over the world where Student Christian Move- ments are established. The principal speaker was Dr. Ray born Zerby, who had as his subject "Prayer and Peace.'' Throughout his speech, he suggested various topics for individual medita- tion.

The first fifteen minutes of the pro- gram was given over to organ music, with Paul Wright '41 as organist. Rog- er Horton '40 announced the hymns and read the Scripture. Robert Oldmix- on '42 was the soloist of the afternoon.

New Scheme Seeks To Eliminate The 'Breaking-In' Period Outlining an ambitious program

formed as a basis for permanent fu- ture actions and activities, Student Council President Frank Coffin led th« monthly Men's Assembly in the Little Theatre last Friday morning.

Before presenting his summary of Council problems. President Coffin urged a better attendance at the As- semblies and a more active "vocal" interest in the work being done by this men's governing body. Pointing out that a new Student Council would soon be elected. Coffin presented a plea for a more general participation in the discussion periods provided each month by the Men's Assemblies, point- ed out that the Monday night meet- ings of the Council are open to the Student Body, and emphasized that the value of the Student Council de- pends upon the use the men make of it to air their grievances, advance im- provements, and generally increase u spirit of good citizenship in the Bates campus community.

The program presenter byCoffln Is the result of a cumulative study of campus problems by the present Coun- cil throughout its term of office. This study and discussion has resolved in- to a number of definite points which ueem to include most of the activities which ought to be under Council ju- risdiction. It will thus be possible for newly elected Councils to continue the work of the outgoing body without first undergoing a long period of ad- justment and experiment in the at- tempt to discover just what needs to be done.

The method employed in attacking each problem is that of concentrating on a specific phase of it at every meeting. La»t week, for example, chapel programs were again up for discussion. A committee was appoint, ed to confer with President Gray, and as a result, chapel programs will henceforth be posted a week in ad- vance.

The complete list of other Council problems is quite comprehensive. The subject of coeducation has received considerable publicity of late, and the Council is giving it much attention. Specifically, the cultivation of a freer, more extensive, and less formal use of the facilities of Chase Hall and the Women's Union for coeducational ac- ivities is hoped for. The principal suggestion is for a Chase Hall Open House several nights a week, with a greater spirit of informality than has been achieved in the past.

The whole question of Bates' rela- tionships with the town and with students who live in Lewiston and Auburn has been deemed important.

Swann And Bell Debate Maine Women Thursday

The second women's debate on cam- pus this year found Betty Swan '41 and Bertha Bell '40 defending the emergence of women into the profes- sions Thursday night in a debate with the University of Maine. Ruth Gray '40, manager of women's debating, presided at the debate in the Chase Hall Music Room.

On the Affirmative, Leona Runion and Martha Hutchlns of Maine deplor- ed the rapid increase in the number of professional women while thousands of professional men are unemployed and contended it was this type of wom- en with superior ability who should be the mothers and homemakers. The Bates speakers argued that in many professions women could not be re-

! placed, and emphasized the psycholog- I ical of fact of denying them the priv- ' ilege of entering the professions. J

Science Clubs To Stage Joint Meeting Tonight

Lawrance, Jordan, and Ramsdell scientific clubs will hold a unique joint meeting this evening, the meet- ing to be conducted as a panel dis- cussion with professors and students participating. The time is 7:30 p.m., and the place Libbey Forum.

The general subject for discussion will be "The Origin of Life". First on the program, three major points of view will be taken up m attacking 1 he question, each with a ten-minute talk. Dr. Fisher of the department of geology will be first, with presenta- tion of the geologic aspects. Then Dr. Lawrance of the chemistry de- partment will present the chemical aspects; and last Dr. Pomeroy of the biology department on the biological aspects.

The meeting will then be opened to general discussion of the problem* b> all present, which includes all sci- ence majors and all professors in the various science departments.

This is the first meeting of its kind to be Held on campus, and it is hoped that it will fill the need for a general get-togeher of student and professor in the science fields.

Has Our Conservatism Backfired? Three years ajo, Bates took a step toward the progressive in

education—the number system of ranking was theoretically aban- doned. Students and faculty alike understood that the line of de- marcation between an 86% and an 88% scholar, for example, was too fine a distinction. It was agreed to call them both "B" men. That faculty members continued to rank students numerically was a source of dissatisfaction. But when inquiring students were told that because they received a 79, they were to receive a "C", and another man, receiving an 81 was given a "B", the question of the actual advance represented in the change was raised. Had the step been merely a stumbling move in the right direction ?

The whole argument seems rather foolish to us, over-emphas- izing as it does the value of marks. But since we must face an actual situation in which both students and faculty seemingly re- gard grades as of prime importance (scholarship, graduate school admission, and student "prestige" (?) being dependent on them), may we offer a plan for discussion that is not new, and we know has been thought of by the administration.

To fail, to pass, to excel or to be an honor student in a course should satisfy the competitive instinct of the college man or wom- an. Scholarships, unlimited cuts, recommendation to graduate school, honors—the granting of these should be done by faculty committees of which the head of the student's major department would be a member. Ranking must be done on this basis through- out the college year.

We have the feeling that under the present plan, our conserv- atism is playing tricks with us. We have the sensation of groping blindly for something that has certainly not yet been realized. The simplest hanrll'ng of the problem now, is to go along the way we are, hoping for a d nge of both faculty and student attitude toward the importance of grades. An interesting experiment would be the extension cf the suggested plan to a particular course for a semester or two—studying the general reaction to this type of marking.

cussed by Roy Briggs in his Chapel talk Saturday. Long lists of contributions made by college to city or city to college may be drawn up—only to serve as emphasis of this inter-dependence. As

. Briggs pointed out, there is still room for the development of a . more comprehensive program of cooperation.

We do not know where the present attitude of general hostil- ity originated. There have been a number of "little incidents" that our meager knowledge of human nature would recognize as irritat- ing. Both sides have been guilty of this type of thoughtlessness— usually taking the form of something either best unsaid or at least worded more tactfully. Mutual understanding seems to be called for.

The college is not only one of the larger spending units in the community, but it is also in a position to be its cultural center. Liberal or Science Exhibitions, adult education programs, concerts, and lectures can be considered part of the reason for being of a college. They should be made accessible to every member of the community. In turn, the city is overlooking part of its work if it fails to give attention to a cultural program available to all.

Understanding and a spirit of friendly cooperation, must sup- plant the hostility that is keeping both from doing the complete job of which it is capable.

British Seizure In Neutral Waters

The world was startled, the ra- dios hummed excitedly, the pa- pers glared forth—a British warship had gone into Norweg- ian territorial waters and seized the German merchantman pris on-ship Altmark, freeing its full load of prisoners-of-war taken from sunken vessels. The Alt- mark was for some time compan- ion to the Nazi pocket-battleship Graf Spee; was nearby when that vessel was driven into Mon- tevideo harbor, South America by British fighters a while ago.

It was a great story, the Bri- tish raiders leap onto the decks of the armed freighter, beat the Germans into a hasty retreat, set the ship's telegraph into reverse and set her up on the beach.

Pro-English News Writing

All very uplifting for fellow English soldiers and sailors. Most of the News writing about this affair, however, strikes the cautious reader as distinctly pro- English—to the point of satura- tion. What some of us would like to ask is this—How does Eng- land expect the Germans to act in warfare in strict accordance with international law if the Bri- tish don't themselves? The Ger- mans, Hitler or no Hitler, are after all people; in certain funda- mental, psychological ways just like all other people; British, American, French, or Norwegian. Germany breaking international law would react exactly in Bri- tish circles as this affair is going to react in Germany. It is going to make all Germans just a little more bitter than ever, it is an- other step towards Germany's eventual adoption of unlimited submarine warfare; perhaps against neutrals (us) as well as enemies.

And some of the stories con- nected with the affair, while pos- sibly true, smack suspiciously of similar propaganda as that ad- vanced in World War I. "Time bomb set to blow British cap- tives to bits in filthy hold of Alt- mark when rescue arrived', reads one headline. This story appeared Sunday in many res- pectable papers. But little evid- ence was given as basis for ac- curacy and truth. In short, to the discerning reader, a story such as this would be viewed with a good, big, grain of salt.

War-Propaganda Discredited

Much was said of German cru- elty in War I. The publicity given stories about German treatment of prisoners of war, German bar barism, and the cutting off of hands of children in Belgium by the German conquerors has been almost wholly discounted as truth since. Mention is made in book upon book written since of the courteous treatment accord- ed prisoners of war by German sea raiders twenty-two or three years ago. No proof has ever been found to substantiate the rumors, given immediate cre- dence at the time, of the bar baric cruelty towards Belgian children. Why should we believe the stuff fed us now of the same type?

Yes, we realize England is at war, and we know there must be no half-way measures about modern warfare. And we know the mass of British are sincere in their intentions in fighting this war. They are fighting a war against Hitlerism, not against Germans. Except for a few small elements, we are in full sym- pathy with the present British cause, even if we do believe the Allies could and should have stopped this war at the end of the last one instead of at such places as Munich.

Americans Have Changed

BUT, Americans of this day are not quite like they were twen- ty years ago. Despite our senti- ments, we are for the most part propaganda minded. We want our information in the form of news, or any other form, strictly neu- tral. If we ever get mixed up in this ungodly European mess, in any form, during the war or at the peace, we want to do it with a clear head, for reasons of our own; not because obviously sub- tle pro-anything propaganda has emotionally stirred us up so we don't know where we're at.

Furthermore, if Americans of all classes are as much against our entering a war, are as much against our succumbing to this propaganda, as they have repeat- edly avowed that they are, then they will pay more attention to how the news is interpreted and how it is written. So that the mass of American people (who read nothing but the headlines anyway), will get clear, unbiased, unprejudiced pictures of what is going on.

NCAA Writer Discusses History, Future Of Golf

(With campus interest in golf growing, the STUDENT this week in- troduces excerpts from a column written for intercollegiate golf enthu- siasts and sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. We would welcome any comments either on this column or concerning the pos- sible future of intercollegiate golf at Bates. Ed.)

By CHARLES EVANS, JR. In America just before the rubber-

cored ball came in, about 1900, golf for spectators was played for the most part by middle-aged amateurs.

It was the curiosity of our young boys rather than the skill of the play- ers that started our galleries afield.

The Americans began to learn the game with true American enthusiasm, and amateur names began "to get in the papers. Golf was gaining great ground by 1910. New names were springing up and becoming house- hold words. They were amateur names, but the pros were increasing in numbers.

I remember that it was generally conceded that the pro could beat the amateur, so we didn't enter his events, or was it social caste or the lack of public acclaim? At any rate, we did not go into them. The crowds did not want to watch pros anyway; wher- ever we went, they wanted to see us.

You know the unp ralleled victory Francis Ouimet achieved in the Open of 1913. The public aftsr that wanted the amateurs versus the pros, so we took shots at the National Open. Wal- ter Hagen holed a long curving putt that afterwards proved his winning stroke in 1914, but the crowds follow- ed only Ouimet and me. Next year, Jerry Travers took up the attack and won at Baltusrol, which I followed up by a victory in the National Open at Minneapolis in 1916, the second time that I had played in it.

Then there were exhibition matches. Because we could not fill all the re- quests: some amateurs being rather careless too; I, who had the most to say, put some pros by most strenuous effort into these matches. Old-time pros know that this was the begin- ning of the eclipse of the amateur.

But the eclipse was hardly visible

CHARLES EVANS. JR.

Until well anto the late nineteen twenties. Some colorful pros caught th/ fancy of the crowds. The public began to look on with an understand- ing eye. They were getting tired of the old names anyway, but still we Vere drawing the .crowds at the championships: the pioneer work had been done, and the pros were now available to make the money.

The eclipse would have happened sooner but for Bobby Jones. It looked as if the sun would still shine on the amateurs, but he and too many oth- ers turned professional.

The resounding clapping, heart- breaking silence, the rustle of voices between shots, the indescribable calm of a golf gallery of any size, depth or width in any way you take those words is gone for the amateur of America unless the college amateur can changp It back. The great news- papers and magazines have done their share to bring the profess'onil forward and put the amateur out of the limelight.

The law of averages has worked again, for it has of necessity left the only true amateur spirit in co'le^e golf. The college amateurs have the opportunity to regain the crowds, the frequent headlines.

The eclipse is over in spl'e of Bud Ward's great showing at Philadelphia last year; the victory was completed by the feeling that any prominent amateur now except the college one will Join the pro revolution. It is a rout.

The hopes of the amateurs lie with the college golfers.

Hoopsters And Mermen Draw; Swimmers Meet Bay Staters

A week ago Tuesday and Wednes- day the Bobcat hoopmen edged Boston University 42 to 41 and in turn were edged out by a powerful Clark College quintet 52 to 47. This was Clark's tenth straight win, and they have lost only one game all season. The team was caught in the middle of the great snowstorm that swept New England and so it was necessary for the team to spend about eight hours in their return trip.

Harry Gorman's spectacular one- handed shots won the first game in the closing minute, and the scoring was evenly divided in the Clark en- counter.

Friday a small squad of Bobcat tankmen invade Massachusetts for a meet with Mass State that eveninir. and Saturday the team meets Boston o"niver8ity. The team will be led by Co-captains Harold Ooodspesd and Earle Ziegler and will consist of only upperclassmen, as the freshman mem- bers of the team are ineligible for in- tercollegiate competition under AAU ruies.

During carnival we-k the team de- feated Hebron Academy at Hebron by a score of 43 to 23. A feature of this meet was that the Bobcats won both relay events. At the Auburn Y last Tuesday, the Portland Boys' Club re- peated an early season triumph over the Garnet swimmers 40 to 34.

Bobcats Clash With Strong Polar Bear Trackmen FrL Favor Bowdoin By Wide Margin

Friday afternoon and evening the Big White of Bowdoin will encounter an underdog Bobcat track team in a dual meet that should produce many outstanding individual contests al- though the Magee-men are rated to be too strong for the Garnet. The weight events will start in the cage at two o'clock In the afternoon and be run off along with some of the field events, and the more spectacular run- ning events will be contested in the evening.

Bowdoin's strength is rated highly because of a recent upset victory over a mighty Dartmouth track team, and the success of the Big White hammer throwers in the New England Cham- pionships at Harvard.

Hul nt; Handicapped By Bad Knee

In the 40 yard dash Bowdoin's best bets are Captain Neal Allen, who has been doing well in practice, but bog- ged down in the BAA games, Nels I-indley, and Ray Huling. The latter is handicapped with a bad knee and so is a question mark. However, Lynn Bussey is the chief hope of the Bob- cats and this may be the time that the speedy senior will come through it he can get off to a good start. Johnny Sigsbee and Ike Mabee also lave a chance to place in this event, iu the hurdles, one of the country's best will be seen in action when Neal Alien sprints over the timber tops. Lin Rowe, Huling, Dave Loveioy and Charlie Edwards are other dependable hurdlers. George Coorssen is an old rival of Rowe and is out to square ac- counts for a defeat in the State meet, while the other Garnet hurdler will probably be Mai Holmes.

In the 300 Ike Mabee Is conceded to have at least an even chance to edge Bob Newhouse who defeated him last year in the frosh meat, while Lin Rowe and Gene Redmond will prob- ably be the other Bowdoin entrants. In the 600 Ike Mabee should put up the feature battle of the day against Pope, the White veteran. Pope so far this year has yielded first place to Harry Baldwin as the premier 600 man at Bowdoin, hut may get into condition to approach his form of last 3 ear.

Al Rollins showed by his fine 1000 in the Interclass Meet that he will bf- a tough man for anyone to beat, hut teammate Dave Nickerson and Bowdoin's Babcock and Doubleday will be the opposition for Al who seems to have found his event. In the mile it will probably be Warren Drury followed by Babcock of Bowdoin. Dana

'40 Wins Interclass Meet For 4th Year

For the fourth consecutive year, the Seniors triumphed in the annual in- terclass track and field meet last Sat- urday in the gym. Ken Lyford, the meet's best athlete, scored 16 of his team's 48 points; agile Mai Holmes— 13 of his team's 63; Coorssen 13 of 20 points; and Mabee, 10 of the Sopho- more's 30.

The Sophomore class topped the class of '43 by a 66-47 total after these teams were scored against each other.

Times and distances were encour- aging especially when the poor condi- tions of the track and the long ab- sence from competition for most of the athletes due to exams — is taken into consideration.

Holmes showed possibilities of be- coming a fine hurdler if he could practice more on form. Lj*ford ex- tended Mabee in the short runs and then proceeded to win two of his spe- cialties. John Hibbard uncorked a grand toss with the discus but his foot fouled by a few inches.

The 1000 yard run was the most ex- citing to watch. Dave Nickerson led to the halfway mark, and then Mc- Lauthlin took over. With two laps to run Al Rollins suddenly spurted past his roommate Nickerson, and raced after the Freshman star. McLauthlin, however, fought off the challenge and held a slight lead at the tape. The time of 2 min 25 1-5 sec is the fastest done bv a freshman runner in a dec- ade. Nickerson in third place ran the fastest thousand he has ever run.

Summary: Discus—Won by Hibbard '40; 2,

Andrews '40; 3, Connon '40; 4, Sigs bee '42. Distance: 119 ft. 6 in.

40 yard dash—Won by Lyford '43; 2, Bussey '40; 3, M. Thompson '43; 4, Sigsbee '42. Time: 6 sec.

JOHN HIBBARD '40 was one of the senior stars as his class annexed the Interclass track title for the fourth straight time. Hibbard placed first in the discus, second in the hammer. and third in the shot put.

lines and Lloyd Akely will battle Charlie Graichen and Al Rollins i the two-mile.

Bowdoin Strong In Weight Events

In the weight events Bowdoin is strong in the hammer with Niles Per- kins and Carl Boulter, while Boulter in the shot and discus will vie with the Garnet crew of Sigsbee, Hibbard, Russell, Connon and Andrews. In the jumps it will be Coorssen and Holmes of Bates versus Huling in the broad Jump. Maggs has improved and may aid Coorssen in pressing James in the high Jumps, and Don Maggs and Mai Holmes meet good opposition in the pole vault from James and Akeley and Marble.

Frosh Trackmen Race Polar Bears Today

This afternoon the Bowdoin fresh- man track team meets the Bobkitten team in the cage, with the powerful Black and White team slightly fa- vr red.

The feature event should' be be tween Ken Lyford and long striding Johnny Dickinson of Bowdoin in the 300 and 600. Dickinson holds a mark of 32.9 in the 300 and 1:16.3 in the 600. While Lyford has not yet reached 1:16 in the 600 he may do so with this competition and with his recent de- feat in the Interclass meet showinc him the necessity of starting to kick earlier^ In the race. Bob McLauthlin docs not figure to meet any competi- tion in the mile and 1000 yard runs, but the rest of the events find many strong Bowdoin opponents.

Buckley broad Jumps over 20 feet and with Hanson high jumping over 5 feet 10 inches, and so Bowdoin ap- pears powerful In those field events. Marchildon is the sole standout In the ••eights for Bowdoin but he has ~inroached fifty feet in the twelve pound shot-put.

Both teams are undefeated but one of the Bowdoin victories was an over- whelming 97 to 3 affair in which their opponents snenked in for a lone sec- ond in the 40 yard dash to break Into the scoring.

Jayvees Fall Before Portland YNCA 58-45

Last Friday the junior varsity dropped a 58 to 45 verdict to a power- ful Portland YMCA basketball team at Portland. The game was fast and well played by both teams. The stand-out performers for the jayvees were Draper with 11 points. Dean Lambert with 10, and Dick Raymond with nine points. Tom Flanagan play- ed a bang-up defensive and scored six points. Therrieault was the Portland stand-out as he scored 12 points in the first half and did not return to the game for the second half.

This Friday the jayvees will prob- ably return to the win column when they tangle with Portland Junior Col. lege at Portland. In their first meet- ing with PJC the jayvees set a gym scoring record by winning 69 to 43. On the basis of that decisive win, the junior varsity is expected to close their season with a victory.

Holiday Features Intramural Duels

With the varsity hoopsters on the road and no action here at home, the attraction in athletics for campus fans tomorrow will be found in the gala holiday program which the in- tramural system is presenting. Two basketball games and a volleyball match, all of the "grudge" variety, will feature the afternoon's accivi- ties.

Original plans called for a liojke> twin-bill in the morning, but adverse weather conditions have ruined the rink ice and the games have been postponed. There is a strong doubt that any more hockey games will be played.

The hoop games tomorrow feature the adjoining rivals, East and West Parker, in one game starting at 2:00, and the Frosh opponents, .luhn Ber- tram and Roger Williams clashing Immediately following. However, there is more than just "traditional" rivalry attached to these two games. As a result of the games played last week the basketball league has tight- ened up considerably and any one of the five teams can sneak in for the championship before the final curtain rings down. At present John Bertram and East Parker are tied for the lead with four victories and two defeats apiece. Right behind comes Off- Campus, which will be idle tomorrow, with three wins and four losses, and following them come the up-and- coming West Parker group with two wins against three losses. In the cel- lar post comes giant-killer Roger Williams with won two. lost four.

Following the second basketball game, will come a volleyball match between Roger Williams and John Bertram. The last time these two clubs met, J.B. won 3-0, but Roger Bill has strengthened since then, and the final result is a toss-up.

Relayers Win In B. A. A.; Lose In K. Of C. Meet

On Jan. 27 at the K. of C. meet in Boston, a fumbled pass cost the var- sity team a victory. Tufts College, benefitting by the delay took over the lead and maintained the ten yard ad- vantage to the finish. Northeastern University trailed Bates by a similar distance. The Garnet and Black time was 3 minutes and 33 seconds.

At the BAA meet on Feb. 10, Bates was represented by a freshman one- mile relay team as well as a varsity team. The freshmen were paired with Brown's yearlings. Since this was the first relay event of the evening's pro- gram, the overflowing crowd had a hint of thrills in store, as these two teams battled for the entire race with Brown winning by a few strides. The combination of McLauthlin, M. Thomp- son, Welch, and Lyford was clocked in 3 min. 34 sec.

The varsity team was matched against Middlebury and New Hamp- shire University. Last off man, Al Rollins, stole the lead by passing on the inside as his opponents tried to run him wide. Nickerson stretched the two yard lead to ten; Drury in- creased it ten more, and Mabee finish- ed a full thirty yards ahead of Mid- dlebury. The times were: Rollins, 52.9; Nickerson, 52.1; Drury, 53.4; and Mabee, 52.6; total, 3 min. 31 sec.

SPORT SHOTS By BILL HOWLAND '40

Best peformance of the week: To the little band of nine senior track- men who scored 63 points to annex the interclass title for the fourth straight time that the class of 1940 has had its numerals placed on the InberclaGfc Banner.

The trackmen of 1940 have accom- plished a feat that very probably will never be equalled, and can never be surpassed, by winning the Interclass Meet since their freshman year. Their team has lost many recruits who won their letter and then found it inexpe- dient to compete their senior year because of added scholastic pressure or injuries. But the remainder have carried on and shown their class by winning the Christmas Relays and now coming through in the Indoor In. terclass Meet. Likewise they have won the outdoor interclass meet three times, and if every senior man at present out for track continues, they will be the favorites to win the out- door competition.

s - s We are grateful to Paul Junior

who took time off to visit the Varsity Club last Wednesday night and give a little talk and demonstration on

boxing. To those who aren't in the know, Paul Junior is the lightweight champion of New England. He is to be matched against Henry Armstrong for the world's lightweight title next month. We shall feel that we have a personal interest in the Lewiston vet- eran when he tangles with Armstrong,

s . s Bob McLauthlin, freshman distance

runner, looks to be about the best prospect to come to this school in many a year. His time of 4:37 in the mile is excellent, and if he Is pushed a little more when he is running var- sity competition next year he may break down into the four twenties for the mile. His time in the 1000 yard r:in is also remarkable, but Al Rollins close second in that event is even more outstanding since Al has not trained for the 1000 yard run this year. Another frosh who may even- tually step into the track shoes that Arnie Adams left here, and as yet have been unfilled, is Ken Lyford who ha= turned in some remarkable times ;n the 300 and 600. Lyford seems to have as much speed as did Dick Thompson who broke the freshman rtcord in the 608.

Boyan Stars As Frosh Hoopmen Bury EL 35-25

Last Saturday night the Bates frosh added another to their mounting string of victories. They accomplish- ed this by taking over the highly re- garded Edward Little " quintet from Auburn to the tune of 35-25. Led by Normie Boyan, who poured fourteen points through the strings in the first half, the Bobkittens got off to a flying start. At half time they were sport- ing a commanding 20-8 lead. During the third canto the high Bchool boys began to move and closed the gap to 25-20. However, the tide was turned the other way again \v*£n Red King dumped in two consecutive baskets in the last chapter. From then on there was no question as to the outcome.

The yearlings employed'a zone de- fense which was very successful In tle- ing up the highly advertised Eddies' scoring machine. Parker, the leading high school scorer in Western Maine, was held to seven points. Direnzo, a diminutive forward, scored eight points and was the outstanding player for the invaders.

Boyan's fourteen points were enough to give him high honors for the game, although he was held score- less in the second half. Carl Monk showed his usual accuracy to tally nine points for the next best offen- sive effort of the evening.

An Interesting feature of the game found Monk and Sturgis facing their alma mater and playing against their last year's team mates.

Maine Takes Garnet As Home Season Ends

Varsity hoopsters, staging their last home battle of the current court season last Saturday night, were out- lasted by a hot Maine team and went down to defeat 37-33 in a ragged, hectic, hard fought game which car- ried a capacity crowd from the depths of gloom to the heights of elation and back again.

As far as scoring was concerned the game started slowly, but that is not to say that there was no action. Ln the contrary, Vic Stover and Red Rsftery rushed the Maine guards, .and succeeded in stea'icg the ball on sev- eral occasions only to have it "re- s,tolen" again by some alert Maine lad. All in all the first several minutes were rough and ready, rootin'-tootin', and wild and wooly—to put it mildly.

However, it suddenly seemed as if everyone on the Maine team started swishing the nets with reckless aban- don, and befors anyone could shout. "Cease, you rascals!"—the score was 16-2 in favor of the Orono on-rushers. Whereupon Coach Spinks sent in Harry Gorman and Art Belliveau. The score at the end of the half was 17 9.

Bates came back with a dogged determination in the second half and with Art Belliveau putting on his best shooting exhibition of the year, the electric score board read Maine 33, Bates 31. with about a minute to go. Entered two villains, Small and Wil- son, each of whom sunk a two-point- er, and the Kenyon men led 37-31. Art Belliveau climaxing his fine perform- ance sank another. The curtain fell- as did the heads of many of the Bates rooters.

The Maine team which met Buck Spinks' cohorts tb.r tinn wac not the same outfit that very luckily beat the Bobcats earlier in the season in Oro- no. Crowley, a lanky, fancy-dribbling, sharp-shooting forward who used to team up with Hughie McLaughlin at Bridgton Academy, has joined Gener- alissimo Bill Kenyon's ranks, and, as a result, the Black Bears now have a very formidable quintet. This Mr. Crowley had swished the nets five limes for ten points before he was banished on personal fouls late in the second half. However, he was not the pole cause of the downfall of the Gar- net. Wilson and Arbor, teaming up at guard, provided a strong defense and accounted for eleven points between them, too.

For Bates, as we have said, Belli- veau was outstanding. Brud Witty was a bulwark on the defense and also n ored 7 points. Don Webster looked great under the Maine backboard where he snared rebound after re-

Bobcats Attack Mules Tomorrow

Seeking to return to the victory trail after dropping their last two starts to Clark University and the University of Maine respectively, the Bates varsity hoopsters will meet the Colby Mules at Waterville, Thursday.

The Bobcats find themselves in the unique position of being able to decide the winner of the State series, for the series as it stands now shows Maine out in front with three victories and one defeat, and Colby right behind with two victories and one setback. By defeating the Mules, the Bobcats can give Maine undisputed possession of the title, while a Colby victory over Bates would throw Maine and Colby into a deadlock for the crown. The Garnet will be out to whip Colby

for a more important reason, however, namely that this will be the last chance for the Spinksmen to register a series victory this season and their last opportunity to break the losing streak which has dogged their series efforts lor the past two years.

Colby will probably start the same team which was able to hand Bates a defeat earlier in the season by a close margin. The leading scorer of this auintet is Al Rimousukas, a tall, lean, eagle-eyed forward who is deadly on short set shots. In their first en- counter the Bobcats were able to handle Rimousukas very nicely for the first half but In the second chapter he got out of hand and led the Mules to victory. Other members of the starting line-up are Pearl, a fine de- fensive player;. Malins, Hatch and Peters.

Coach Spinks will probably floor the same five that has started all the Garnet's games this year. This quin- tet is made up of Red Raftery and Stover at forwards, Don Webster at the center station and Brud Witty and Capt. Howie Kenney at the guards.

Yearlings Meet Bridgton In Season Finale Friday

Friday the freshman basketball team journeys to Bridgton for a re- turn encounter in their last game of the season. This game had been sched- uled for Saturday, but because of the many athletic events on Saturday, it has been pushed back a day.

In the first game with Bridgton Academy the freshmen eked out a 48 to 45 win. The freshmen soon went into a slump and dropped three close games in a row, and then came back to down Edward Little. This game rates to be a toss-up. The Bobkittens will be at full strength with speedy, high scoring Norm Boyan in one for- ward post, Paul Smith in the other. Carl Monk holds down the pivot posi- tion and has one of the best shots of anyone in school. Red King and Stur- gis are a capable guard duo.

Collegians Favor Financial Aid To Warring Finland

learning to please the consumers taste. As the consumer group is com- posed largely of women it is natural to employ women to find out what ap- peals to members of their sex. Home economics, government work, advertis- ing and journalism are based to quite an extent on the consumer.

As the theme Mrs. Woodhouse stal- ed that whatever field you enter em- ployers require on the whole imagina- tion, drive, and ability to get on with people. College women with their cul- tural background should be well able to fill these demands.

Although college students have often

shown an emphatic desire to keep the United States neutral, a nation-wide poll completed last week reveals that

sympathy for Finland is great enough for a majority of them to approve of American loans to the only nation

that has kept up its war debt pay-

ments. Specifically, 62 per cent of the colleg-

ians answered "yes" to the question, -'Should Congress allow Finland to draw on her latest World War pay- ment to the United States?" This study of sentiment in the American college

world is one of the weekly polls con- ducted for the Bates Student and scores of other undergraduate news- papers that form the Student Opinion Surveys of America. A carefully-deriv-

ed sample of students is used by the interviewers in measuring opinions of the nearly one and a half million U. S. collegians.

Favorable sentiment was found in a'l parts of the country on this proposal that President Roosevelt made recent- ly, and controversy over the type of •aid this country should give Finland has already flared in Congress. New Englaud students are the most in

favor, more than seven of every ten

approving, while those in the Far West are the least in favor. An interesting fact brought out by the Surveys in this

and many other polls on international questions has been that people in col- leges on the eastern coast are usually

more interested in the part the U. S. should play in the solution of Europe's troubles. As one goes West interest

wanes, as these results of the present

poll show: Should we allow Finland to use her

war debt payment? Yes

This survey stands out in sharp con- trast to student opinion last October, when a majority differed with national public opinion in opposing change In tho neutrality law In favor of cash and carry. and Mr. and Mrs. Rademaker. The

WAA Names Leaders In Training System

This year a new system of train- ing was inaugurated by WAA, Points a«"e awarded for showers, three square meal8 a day, and eight hours sleep Per night; and a minimum score of 125 points in each section is required Per week to remain in training. Un- der this new system, a training re- ward will be offered at the end of the year to the girl In each class who has

irhest score. At the end of the first semester of training, the follow- ing are the highest in order in their classes: Burns, N. Gould, McGrail, Stephenson, Santilli, and Gentner of the class of '43; Swicker, Everett and Keene (tie), Leonard, Day, Rizoulis of the class of '42; Giles, Roberts, Carter, Belt, Bailey and Adams of the class of '41; and Dorothy Davis, Bridgham, Cleveland and French of the class of "40. Of the 149 girls who started out the semester taking training, 96 kept it through the se- mester—a very good record.

The new seasons in Winter Sports and Archery have started. Four hours of each taken at any time convenient will be required for credit Volleyball with all the fun of Garnet and Black competition has been the cause of the noise emanating from the W.L.B. Seniors are advised they get credit for every hour of practice.

'43 Hoopmen Drop Two To Kents Hill, Hebron

The Bates frosh basketball team re- sumed its activity last week only to lose two hard fought contests at the hands of Kents Hill and Hebron. At Readfleld on Monday, the 12th. the count read 36 to 34 and at Hebron on Wednesday, the 14th, tho verdict was 41 to 34.

After a two week lay off the Bob- kittens invaded Kents Hill to play one of the closest games ot the season. The frosh, who showed the effect of this vacation, got off to a slow start and were on the short end of a 12 to 6 count at the end of the first pe riod. However, they came back in the second canto to creep up on the Preppers but the Hill toppers man- aged to hang on to a 16 to 15 score at | half time.

The third period saw the yearlings spurting ahead and seemingly well on the way to another victory. But mid- way in the last period Kents Hill put on a rally. With less than ten seconds left Pattee, Kents H 11 guard, broke up the defensive battle to give the Hilltoppers a 36 to 34 victory.

Monk and King starred for the frosh while Silver and Scavongelli were outstanding for the winners.

At Hebron the freshmen met the same fate they experienced at Kents Hill. The Big Green chalked up their tenth straight victory in as many games to remain undefeated. Hebron maintained a twelve to nine first pe- riod lead and were never headed. The score at half time was 20 to 15, at the end of the third period 34 to 21, and the final 41 to 34.

Successful Weekend Narks 21'st Carnival

Festivities of the highly successfull 21st Outing Club Winter Carnival opened Thursday, February 8 with the co-ed banquet and open-house at the Women's Union.

At the dance and open-house at Chase Hall the coronation of Queen Carolyn Hayden '40 was carried out impressively by her triumphal en- trance with her attendants, Elizabeth MacGregor, Bertha Bell, Ruth Gray, Kay Gould, Janet Bridgham and Hazel Turner. Pres. Clifton D. Gray present- ed her with the symbol of royalty and the carnival was officially opened with the reading of the royal proclamation.

Two days of carnival festivities were fittingly climaxed by the Carnival Hop Saturday evening which was at- tended by a large group of visitors as well as students and faculty members. One of the outstanding features was the reincarnation of the Grand March which saw 200 couples heralding the approach of the queen and helped make the Hop one of the most attract- ive events of the season.

Ali one can say is that Mame has a good team. They are, as a matter of foct, a vastly improved team and in addition they were hot—in the first half, at least. Bates rooters may be consoted by the fact that this season is already the most successful the courtsters have ever enjoyed.

Stu- Council . . lOratiaaW man tin Oa»i

The Chapel talk by Roy Briggs last Saturday .ncorporated many of the Council's plans for Improving school- town feelings—extending college fa- cilities to townspeople, encouraging students and professors to make bet- ter use of the cultural religious, edu- cational, and economic advantages of- fered by local institutions and giving the "townie" a more intimate place in college activities.

The movement on foot to provide a rifle range for those interested may subsequently come under Council ju- risdiction . The attempt to bring inter- collegiate golf to Bates is being back- ed by the Council, with John Haskell taking active charge.

The problem of "student counsel- ling" is a permanent job of this body. A small loan fund for the use of all students has been proposed along this line.

The Commons problem—late break- fast, the drive for a new Commons, and the ticket system—are up for dis- cussion. The long-hoped-for Bates cooperative is continually being push, ed, and a cooperative dealing in books and supplies a? well as a food co-op, may some day be a reality.

Improvement of student-alumni re- lHtionships; establishment of a better policy m regard to ext: a curricula ac- ' ivitles, especially in those clubs which are now noticeably inactive; e'imination of student administration; and the possible betterment of dormi- tory conditions, are all problems to be
